Reviews and Ratings
I absolutely loved my stay at this hotel! The location was just perfect, close to the city center yet nestled in a quiet neighborhood. The service was top-notch with friendly and helpful staff. The dining experience exceeded my expectations, offering a variety of delicious options. The facilities were fantastic, especially the sauna and swimming pool.
I was pleasantly surprised by the spacious rooms and the convenience of the hotel location. The service was top-notch and the dining options were varied, although with some limitations. The facilities offered great amenities but had room for improvement. Overall, a good value for money stay with a few minor downsides.
I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The rooms were situated on the lowest hotel room floor near a noisy corridor door, but they did offer access to the executive lounge with a wonderful view of the waterfront area. The service was exceptional, especially from Marcus, Abastacia, and Oana, who quickly solved any problems. The location was convenient for walking to the center of Helsinki, although there were some disruptions due to construction work. The dining options were satisfactory, but the breakfast timings were not the most convenient. Overall, a decent stay with some minor drawbacks.
The hotel's location is ideal for active swimming but lacks spa-like relaxation. The rooms are spotless, comfortable, and well-stocked, meeting expectations with ample space and a rare find of a bath. The service was pleasant and well-equipped with convenient sockets and USB connectors, while the location offers easy access to transportation with a short walk to the old town.
The hotel had a unique but functional layout, worth considering for a visit to Finland. The rooms could have been a bit bigger but overall comfortable. Service was beyond friendly and caring, although room cleaning was slow at times. The location, while not in the city center, offers a super nice experience close to the outside market. The dining options were satisfactory, with a vast selection of food. The facilities were well-maintained, and the outdoor terraces with canal views in the summer were a highlight.
The cleanliness is impeccable, but some found the room temperature difficult to adjust. The service is helpful and equipped with convenient amenities like multiple sockets and USB connectors, though a few noise issues were noted. The location is good, close to the city center yet in a quiet area with easy access from the airport. Overall, a reasonably priced hotel with modern amenities and a relaxing atmosphere.
